Frankfurt Temple

Well, yesterday I was able to travel to Frankfurt and attend two sessions in the Temple. It is located in a smaller town just Northwest of Frankfurt. The town is called Friedrichsdorf. The Temple address is 10 Talstrasse if you want to Google it. A neat location with lodging available for those who travel long distances, as well as a distribution center. I was able to do the work for an Italian named Francesco Puccio and a Frenchman named Jean Roy. Both were born about 1800. It was a great experience and very good at recharging the spiritual batteries. Here are a couple of photos of the Temple itself.

Church today was good. It was a good addition to the spiritual refreshment gleaned from the Temple. One of the speakers has a daughter visiting her for the Summer, who currently attends BYU in Provo. Her stake president provided them some guidance on how to prepare for attending the Temple. He advised them to do the five things that Chirst advised the people in the New World to do as found in 3 Nephi 17:3, and to make sure you get past the part of going unto your homes. My family is in my thoughts always, and I ponder how I can better keep in touch and provide assistance. I also keep my friends and their families in my thoughts as well. The Gospel is true and I learn more of that every day.

Love,

Guten Abend aus Illesheim! I am posting a few photos of where I live, as well as my car. More to follow when I can clean up the car and get it to a more picturesque spot. The plants in the photos are the tomato plants my landlord has growing. The two nearest the camera on the right side are mine. I have already harvested a total of 4 that's vier tomatoes, and they were great. However, perhaps it is the fertilizer, but they are not as sweet as the ones from the garden in Utah. The plants grow vertically, at least this variety does. When they get to tall or cumbersome, they will be trimmed. The tomatoes grow in small bunches of about 4 to 7.

The house is on Hauptstrasse 10 in Illesheim, Germany. It sits on the south west corner with a Church just to the north west. If you Google it you can see the house pretty well. My apartment is on the 1st floor on the north east. Those bottom story windows you see are my kitchen on the left and the two windows on the right are my living room. The yard is small in size, yet there are many flowers and even a flower box by the upstairs little balcony. While I was taking the photos, the landlord and his wife, Herr und Frau Eckardt, poked their heads out the window to see what was up! LoL!

Have a great day and love to all of you.

Just another picture of Germany

Hi:

I just wanted to place another photo of Germany into the BLOG as I am trying to see if I can get other people to sign into the BLOG. So Cyd and Tom, this Blogs for you! Catchy! Anyway these are some of the tiny flowers that were growing along the path and rocks at the Eagles Nest.

Love,
